Bath Re-enamelling for Tregony homes
Bath re-enamelling in Tregony without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Bath re-enamelling in Tregony, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

What else we do in Tregony

- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Tregony: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Tregony?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work in Tregony?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Tregony and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tregony.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Tregony
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
